Does Winning Big Reality TV Money Really Change Your Life?

This week, we witnessed yet another triumph in the world of reality TV, this time on SBS's Alone, which saw 10 Aussie's dropped into the Tasmanian wilderness completely isolated, challenged to see how long they could survive. After multiple months, one contestant emerged victorious, claiming a cash reward of $250,000. But, have you ever wondered what these reality show winners do with their prize money? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to two former reality winners about the moment they saw the money hit their accounts and what they did with it. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
